Part 11/14:
The Internal Divisions and Polarization
Wilson acknowledges the polarized state of the movement, comparing it to the divisions seen during the Ottawa “Freedom Convoy.” There are those fully committed to independence and those opposed, sometimes vehemently. These divisions are typical in modern political activism, often driven by tribalism.
He praises the spontaneous unity of the convoy, which was driven by shared frustrations and goals rather than organized directives. Wilson believes that, similarly, the independence movement in Alberta is largely driven by a shared vision, with individuals independently arriving at the idea of sovereignty based on their experiences and concerns.
